Lee,
My neighbor had a WWII ARC-5 receiver and I remember going over to his house to listen to it. It went "beep, beep, beep..." I wouldn't have known what telemetry was then.

CQ CQ,
I have been contacted by a reporter that will be doing a story soon on the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1(October 4th). He would like to try and locate any hams that may have actually successfully attempted to
listen for the Sputnik. Forgive my satellite ignorance here, but since Sputnik is not a ham sat, I am assuming it still put out some telemetry or other signals that may have been capable of being received by either amateur or shortwave radios?
If you, or someone you know, did this please let me know and I will hook you up with said reporter.
Please feel free to forward this request to any specific reflectors or email lists that you may be part of.
Thanks,
